"The doctor tested the pressure and it wasn't as it should be but he said he's not overly worried about that. They might have to put some dye in my eye but waiting to see what the doctor says.
"In some cases (rarely) it can affect deeper into the eye which is why they wanted to see me quickly but thankfully it hasn't. My vision is still blurry but that's because of the amount of swelling and where it's putting pressure on that part of my eye."
But that wasn't an end to the issue. In another update, the reality star shared that the pain had gotten even worse and wrote: "Absolutely horrific I can't lie guys. I wasn't in pain yesterday but today... wow.
"The swelling is causing so much pressure around my eye and head that I feel like I'm being punched every few minutes. "The swelling is now in my face and my lip looks so weird. I know the antibiotics will kick in soon but my lorddddddd I'm desperate now."
It's not her first hospital dash after she needed medical help in the middle of filming with a mystery illness a few years ago. She was forced to stop filming for the new series as she was struck down with severe vomiting.
